Silent DVD is back again and continues to cover the veritable flood of early films being released. This week a pair of Robert Youngson's influential silent comedy compilations are reviewed from The First Kings of Comedy Collection. These films were just about the only way to see these shorts for years and they did a lot to keep silent films alive. The Jazz Singer is also reviewed, the first feature film with synchronized dialog it marked the beginning of the end for silents. WB has released the film in a three disc set that is filled with an amazing amount of extras that make it a must-have set. Be sure to check out last week's column that looked at the third boxed set from American Film Archives, Treasures III, and the British classic noir, A Cottage on Dartmoor.
